Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Upper East Side

Had a great time. Our waitress was AMAZING! The food was great…we had the wings, bottomless mimosas, sliders and lobster roll. We will be back! Thanks to our waitress for an amazing experience.

Always a wonderful experience at Cafe Luxembourg. The service, personnel and staff are all friendly and informative. The food is very consistent and deliciously prepared, whether they are the menu entrees or the dinner specials. Always a nice selection of beverages. We enjoy dining here as it is also convenient to Lincoln Center venues, just a short walk.

We had a big group of 7 of us and wanted to eat close to the Lincoln Center prior to the Ballet. Smith was fantastic. The food was spot on, and the service was even better. This will be our new go-to when we visit NYC and go to any performances at the Lincoln Center. Thanks to the staff at Smith for a memorable meal with friends to kick off an incredible night

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

I just celebrated my birthday with friends at Pera Soho. 1- They were super clear on communication and provided answers to every question I had while booking. 2- The entire staff is very sweet and accomodating. Our waiter (why the hell did I not get his name - he was a younger, Latino gentleman) is doing his job with love or at least that's how he shows it. Despite the 20% tip being automatically added due to large group size, he kept going above and beyond. Normally when the tip is included in the bill, you don't get this level of service at other restaurants! 3- The food was DELICIOUS! 4- The venue has a very beautiful setting. It easily accomodates larger groups and yet still has a cozy enough vibe for a romantic dinner too. The outdoor patio looked very nice, though buried under snow when we went. I definitely wanna come back for the patio once the weather is nicer.
